The Democratic Party of Sacramento County (DPSC) applauds Judge Walker's ruling that Proposition 8 is unconstitutional. Today's ruling is a victory for civil rights and the fundamentally American proposition that all people are created equal and deserve equal treatment under the law.

"This is a victory for all Americans, whether we appreciate it or not. Our country was founded on the ideal that no person be subject to another's religious beliefs. Judge Walker rightly affirmed that we simply do not have the right to deny minorities equality under the law," said DPSC spokesman Devin Lavelle. "So many of our country's darkest hours, whether slavery, internment or segregation, have come when this principle has been disregarded. Today we are one step closer to the breaking of the dawn of true equality and the realization of the great promise of liberty and justice for all."

The DPSC will continue to fight for and protect the founding principles that make America great and work with the many dedicated people across the County who have worked so hard to see this happen.

We at the Democratic Party of Sacramento County would like to congratulate all the Democrats who won their primary contests on Tuesday. We look forward to working with you towards a general election victory!

We would also like to applaud all of the Democrats who participated in the primary election. Their dedication to serving their community and State is truly remarkable.

Although the overall turnout in the county was lower than average, Democrats turned out in a much higher percentage than Republicans. We will continue our outreach efforts to make sure this trend continues in November.

Congrats to our endorsed candidates that won on Tuesday:

County Assessor: Kathleen Kelleher

County Supervisor, District 1: Phil Serna

County Office of Education, Area 1: Greg Geeting

Sacramento City Council, District 3: Steve Cohn

... and best of luck to our endorsed candidates who face a run-off in November!

The Democratic Party supports a more robust democracy including members of every political party.

"For registered members of California's minor parties, Proposition 14 isn't just about winning or losing elections.

"It's a matter of survival.

"'It pretty much wipes us out," said John Reiger, former congressional candidate for the Peace and Freedom Party."
